God reaches out to you.
He seeks you.
He gazes deep into the inner places of your heart.
He looks at you -
a groom,
longing for his bride
as she walks down the asile.

may you run.

as a child runs to his father,
as a sprinter stretches for the finish line,
as friends on a quiet evening jog.

May you run to the embrace of God,
who opens his hands
to receive your tired, hurting life,
to wrap his arms around you,
and hold you
in his grasp.

may you reach the finish line,
exhausted but satisfied,
having given everything to the race
with your eyes longing for one thing -
the place where Jesus sits at the right hand of God -

home.

you who search for wisdom in a thorny world
who seek God’s truth instead of man’s empty words

Jesus stands before you and speaks:

I am
the way
the truth
the life…

No one comes to the Father
except through me.

May you draw near to Christ.
